The rugged west coast of Ireland seems like the perfect place for a holiday. But for Colin, Prill and their book-loving cousin Oliver, their brilliant holiday never happens. It's stiflingly hot and a foul smell of death and decay fill the air. When Prill starts to have terrifying dreams of starving children and baby Alison becomes desperately ill, Oliver senses that something is very wrong. But even he doesn't know everything.

Review:

“A marvellously powerful book. An unusually effective story which combines sensitivity, realism and horror.”
Books for Keeps

“History doesn’t get more real than this.”
Sunday Times

Synopsis:
Colin and Prill were looking forward to a holiday of fun and adventure in Ireland. It would have been perfect if only they hadn't had to drag along their cousin Oliver. But Oliver, it turns out, isn't their biggest problem. Almost from the moment they arrive, Colin feels sick from an awful smell, so powerful and horrible that it seems to be rising from the land of the dead. At the same time, Prill is visited by a strange creature creeping into her dreams. Who is she, and what does she want? Only Oliver seems untouched by the danger. As the hot summer days continue, their terror mounts and their baby sister becomes critically ill. Oliver links the present horror with the terrible famine in Ireland of the 1840s - and the strange occupant of the nearby caravan, whose land was lost then through eviction - and he must bring about the reconciliation to save himself and his cousins.
